A lifelong resident of El Paso, she moved to Spring when she retired in 2001 and took up painting with a passion. She works in oils, acrylics, pastels, charcoal, colored pencil, collage, and clay; but her exhibition this month features some of her oil paintings and collages. C&rsquo;mon by!</p>

She&#39;s equally at home with painting architecture, landscape ( in both Texas and Colorado), and figures.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When I see a work of art, something happens in my heart! As a little girl tours and twirls through the halls of the art museum, she finds herself on an exciting adventure. Each piece of art evokes something new inside of her: silliness, curiosity, joy, and ultimately inspiration. When confronted with an empty white canvas, she is energized to create and express herself; which is the greatest feeling of all. With exuberant illustrations by Peter H. Reynolds, The Museum playfully captures the many emotions experienced through the power of art, and each child&#39;s unique creative process.</p>

<p>Art in Action 1 is the first of two beautifully illustrated art activity books that introduce children to artwork by major painters of different eras, while also encouraging boys and girls to stretch their imaginations and enjoy the unique experience of creating original artwork of their own. Each book presents 24 creative projects inspired by works from famous artists who include the Italian baroque master Caravaggio, James McNeill Whistler, Henri Matisse, and many others. An introduction to parents and teachers advises on how to use these books with children, and emphasizes that no prior knowledge of the subject is needed. Each project includes a reproduction of an artwork, background on the artist, the historical period, techniques employed, and directions for presenting it to children as inspiration for them to create their own original art. The accomplished paintings shown for demonstration are intended as stimuli to get kids started creating artwork of their own, and are not meant as mere models to be copied.Art in Action 1is designed for younger children.

She&rsquo;s been painting ever since, as a young adult, the Teton Mountains took her breath away. Born in Bellmead, a suburb of Waco, her travels back and forth to visit her folks take her through the little town of Calvert where she&rsquo;s in love with their historic buildings. To date she&rsquo;s painted twenty-two of them, many of them bought by the building owners. This month she is displaying some of those Calvert paintings as well as other Texas scenes and events. See them in Room L 129.<br />

<p>This month&nbsp;we are going to create art with featured on <a href="http://www.puttiprapancha.com/2012/03/tape-resist-art.html ">Putti Prapancha&rsquo;s</a> website.&nbsp;&nbsp; Using tape to cover parts of paper we will paint over the paper and paint generously and then remove the painters tape to reveal an abstract mosaic like masterpiece.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In Preschool Picassos we aim for individual exploration and tend to steer away from product oriented art.&nbsp; The best part is almost every project is made from materials that are easy to acquire and replicate at home. This program is developmentally gear towards children 3+. Come in and try us out.</p>
